You are probably better off wiping the two. Install 2.4.2, boot it up, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, then install the part odex mod. There is another way to fix the browser lag now without part odex, just do a search in this thread, although I am still using the part odex method without any problems.

OK running VR 2.4.2 and Ninphetamine 2.0.5 - impressed with main battery life on first test:

However after a full charge I then put Airplane Mode on overnight (I hadn't the previous night) and the battery drain seemed worse (around 20%) than when I'd left everything running and just the ringer turned off (around 6%)...

Is this something others have seen? Can anything be done about it? I thought with Airplane Mode on and screen off the battery usage should be minimal??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Well, they come from Samsung.

Since KH1 stock firmware is out now, it's only logical for Samsung to update the Modem version as well. They have been doing that since SGS2 was released.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
Hi geko95gek - have you noticed any improvement/changes with the KH3 over KG6 modem? (I keep looking at your signature to see which version you're on and make sure I'm up to date :D)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Haha, yeah thats the best way to keep updated. :D

Well, can't say much about it yet. Only flashed it 30 mins ago, will have to get back to you on the results. So far though, seems very stable.

Here are some more CWM flashable modems if anyone needs em: http://www.mediafire.com/?fnkld9swo6u99 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] exgtigsr:
yes..

i absolutely agree, thru betterbatterystats i found that my wakelocks is caused by sms,mms,call log backup to gmail most of it..

there is also some weird stuff like tv_out something2

not to mention sometimes when the data network switches between 3G to H to H+ even the screen is turned on!

all in all i think this rom is among the finest there is for sgs2

another tip newbies tend to forget is to wipe the battery stat after a full drain and full charge after flashing to new rom :D

just my humble ranting, hopefully it's useful to anyone who's reading :p

Is there a way to bring back the shutter sound? Tried Potatoman's hacked camera app (which ironically even removes the focus lock sound), still no sound. Found a stock xxKG6 odexed camera.apk but couldn't deodex it with baksmali (I'm most probably doing it all wrong). Or is it in the ROM itself? I noticed the sound files in system/media are missing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

So far on 3UK KH3 is pretty bad for me, KH1 is great so far for me, as good as KE7 in speed etc, cant comment on battery life yet.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] paulobrien:
The autofocus sound is in the APK, the rest are OGG files in /system/media/audio. No sound - no (or empty) OGG files.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Hmm....KH3 is working fine for me at the moment, good speed and WiFi range. I'll have to try out KH1 as well later since KE7 was probably the best Modem I've used.

is a XXKH1 Villain rom coming....or there is no significant change ???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
Until someone tells us of a significant change we think we are going to stick with a KG6 base.

Waiting for a reason to upgrade.

When a build comes out, you get the "omgomg this is **** poor battery wtf hlap", due to a new rom.

Then comes the "this rocks, battery is awesome", and eventually it turns out battery is identical...

I like to wait about 24 hours, until we know what the score is, then we decide

How would you compare it to kg6 in terms of wifi?

I am perfectly happy with what we have right now. Agreed, if there are no significant changes, then we could all just the flash the modem that works best for our environment.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Pretty much the same range so far, loading times seem to have gotten snappier though so I'm guessing its slightly faster.

Hmm - don't know why, can't work out anything else I changed (apart from the aforementioned use of Airplane Mode at night rather than leaving everything on but just in silent), but definitely not as good battery life today compared to the previous day and a bit! Went down from 1d15h to just 19h28m, so an almost 50% reduction in battery life with no obvious reason for why it is so much worse :( Still better than stock Samsung ROM, but I can't suss what's going on :(

For comparison:

Amazing (stil 13% battery left!) -

Disappointing in comparison -

I've looked at BetterBatteryStats but can't see any obvious wakelock issues. The worst is *sync* from Gmail at 23m21s (1401s) but even that is only at 2.0% (only a tiny bit of the percentage bar).

Any suggestions gratefully received!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
well many hoping for more than 24 hours but not many got them. trust me not many.

once you pass 12 hours its good enough. you passed 24 hours, you're a busy working man, cuz you only use for calls/mails/a bit or browsing/sms when required.

if you get 8-10 hours, you're guy that cant resist turning your screen on cuz how beautiful it is. which, i'm one of this. using for a month but still keep checking it out even while busy doing things.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Lol I'm like that most of the time. Although if I do leave it alone and use it moderately I easily get over a day and 9 hours from one charge. I posted some screenshots already a few pages back.

At the moment I'm on 1 day 9 hours and 15 mins, still got 11% left as well.

well nice2~~ i dont actually practice my battery going down less than 40%. unless for calibrating once in a month. whenever i got the chance, i charge it. cuz Lithion battery doesnt have memory so charge while you can! :p usually when i watch movies and playing ps3, i charge it when it is around 60%. and it wont overcharge so i wont worry. i just love seeing my battery full instead of checking wakelocks and how much it can last, its not really cool habit to have~ haha lolz~

Hi wonderful peps,

I was struggling a bit to find the XXKG6 modem..

Here's to we care we share:

Or you can just google for MODEM_I9100XXKG6_REV_02_CL1044543.tar.md5 and pick your fancy.

The lesson learned here is to know the exact name of the modem's md5.. then it's all peachy from there. :D

That's exactly the reason it's not wise to leap to new versions like headless chickens.

Many of these leaks are superseded in a matter of a day or two. I don't want to make everything for the new base, see themers rebase, then see KU7-111one11!!1-1337 appear...

I am interested in anyone who rsyncs each version over the previous, and records the amount of change in each build though... I often see a 10x reported speed up. That leads to let you work out the actual amount of changes in the rom...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ok, so KH3 is rather good. Strong WiFi, no disconnects. Faster data as well compared to KG6.

Right now I'm done with it. Going to flash KH1 and see if its really as good as KE7 was.

Ok, KH1 seems to be slightly lower in performance for me so far. Will see how it goes.

Weaker GSM/3G signal, WiFi strength seems to be lower.

Hi

I am new to this Rom,and wanted to give it a try mostly because of batterytime.

I came from Litening 4.1 and have now installed this Rom.

Everything seems fine,but i wonder what kernel is best for this Rom?

I had ninphetamine 2.0.5 before this Rom and now have ninphetamine 2.0.4 that came with this Rom.

I have also tried Jeffrey-Speedfrey kernel before

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213339

So i wonder wich one i should use for this Rom for best battery?

Thanks for answers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel is recommended for use with this ROM. I'm getting way over 1 day usage between charges with it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ness23:
PROBLEM: I just install Villain 2.4.2 and after i reboot it stays on the Villainrom startup screen and nothing else?

I installed Ninphetamine-2.0.5 before i installed Villain. I flashed it from my sdcard using CWM.

Any help would be a nice, please :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
You will lose root if you flash VR with Ninphetamine already installed.

If you're stuck at boot screen, try re-wiping everything in CWM recovery (data, cache and dalvik cache) then re-flash VR again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ness23:
So should i root it again using 'superoneclick' then wipe the above then re-flash VR?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Well, if I was you I would flash Chainfire's CF-Root kernel to aquire root. Then wipe and reflash VillainROM, after it's booted you can install Ninphetamine kernel again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
Not true. 2.4.2 roots it. :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
The rom should be rooted though without needing cf-root iirc
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Oh I know that mate, I was leading up to saying that CWM Manager app wont be there anymore. :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noonski:
And doesn't VillainRom 2.4.2 alread include NinPo kernel.... ooh wait Version 2.04

So your going to reflash version 2.05 after this.

I know about the native call recording etc, and the EFS backup.

We had call record yonks ago, but I removed it from later versions in VRTweaks due to missing phone settings. We can re-add if you really want...

RE Efs backup, it goes against the VR principles of understanding what you are doing, and then knowing it for yourself... But I'll look and see if it's something worth adding... I still think if you don't know you need to back up EFS, you should read more, and use stock until a point at which you are ready.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ness23:
Being a noob here but what does the KH3 do?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
We won't know till people use/try it, but most likely not much new...

I wait to see what comes (see why I didn't base a new ROM off KH1 now, non-believers :D), as ROMs come fast. This next one is soon after the previous.

It might be super-awesome. But there's a good chance we are getting to the best we will see in terms of 2.3.4 on the SGS2, and then release will hit :)

No changelogs, so no official idea.

Hey Guys,

I have a little problem.

I had today a strange battery drain. I can't see why it is caused. The only explanation is that aosp is higher then ever.

The blue area is the normal usage during the day with 1.5h screen on and 2.5h music.

The red area is when the issue started. I haven't done anything special just checked if I received a message every 30min or so. I noticed that my battery started to decrease very fast. I checked betterbatterystats but couldn't see anything.

Any ideas what happend?

Wasn't the aosp bug fixed?

What do I need to do to help you debug this issue?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Sounds very strange.

I don't touch that sort of stuff, so the typical way to fix is:

1) nandroid and titanium backups

2) full wipe and clean up of everything

3) reflash ROM and kernel

4) boot up and check if issue persists.

If it persists, it's a samsung issue.

If it doesn't, then it's an issue with junk and crap left in your install.
